Hotels near Karon View Point, Phuket

Hands down, this is the best hotel I've stayed at in Thailand! It's incredibly affordable, and we even got a free upgrade to a pool access room. The rooms are luxuriously decorated and come with a fridge. The staff were absolutely amazing – they immediately helped us with our luggage upon arrival, offered complimentary drinks, and even helped us cross the street when we went out. Plus, it's super close to the beach. I'll definitely be booking this hotel again on my next trip!

This was the last hotel on our Thailand trip. Due to limited room availability when booking, we ended up booking three different room types for three consecutive nights. On the first day of check-in, we proactively communicated with the hotel, hoping to consolidate our stay into one room for all three nights, even if it was the cheapest room type. The hotel stated that subsequent rooms were fully booked and couldn't be adjusted, which we understood, and we cooperated with all check-in procedures as requested. **I. Hotel Advantages** * **Spacious Rooms:** The rooms were generously sized and offered ample space, making for a comfortable stay. * **Cleanliness:** Basic room hygiene was good; the overall cleanliness was satisfactory. * **Quiet Location:** Situated on a hillside, the hotel offered a quiet environment with good views and natural surroundings. **II. Issues Encountered During Our Stay** 1. **Inconsistent Check-in Process and Excessive Waiting Time:** On our second day, we checked out promptly at 12:00 PM and waited in the lobby for the 2:00 PM check-in time. During the two-hour wait, several groups of foreign guests arrived, and the hotel processed their check-ins immediately, without requiring them to wait until the designated time. However, we had to wait until after 2:00 PM to be processed, making us the last group of waiting guests to check in that day. We ended up waiting in the lobby for nearly three hours. As paying guests, the difference in treatment was stark and made us feel very uncomfortable. 2. **Unreasonable Room Assignment and Dishonest Front Desk Communication:** After check-in, the hotel assigned us a connecting room, which shared a connecting door with the adjacent room. The lack of privacy and security was unacceptable. We requested a change at the front desk, and they explicitly stated, ”There are no other vacant rooms; this is the last one.” However, after we communicated with the hotel through the platform's customer service, they quickly provided another clean, non-connecting room. This clearly indicated that there were indeed other rooms available and that the front desk was not actively addressing our concerns, possibly even trying to evade responsibility. By the time we checked out and finally settled into a suitable room, it was already 3:00 PM. Half a day of our itinerary was wasted on hotel check-in issues, significantly impacting our travel experience. During the communication, the hotel even asked us to move all our luggage to the lobby and wait another 1-2 hours. The weather was hot that day, and we hadn't showered or rested since morning, making the entire ordeal very unpleasant. 3. **Contrasting Service Attitude Before and After Complaint:** After we raised our concerns, on the third day, the hotel proactively prepared our room in advance and had staff deliver the room key directly to our room, eliminating the need to go to the front desk. This efficient and convenient service could have been provided on the second day but was only offered after we expressed dissatisfaction. This suggests a lack of proactive service awareness and a less-than-genuine approach to problem-solving from the hotel. **III. [CRITICAL] Severe Water Quality Issues Affecting Health:** This hotel was the only one on our trip with severe water quality problems. Opening the tap revealed a faint smell of rotten eggs, indicating clearly poor water quality. After washing our faces with tap water, both my travel companion and I experienced redness, small rashes, and itchiness, which did not occur at any other hotel in Thailand. As this water is used for daily washing and showering, such unstable water quality not only affects the experience but also raises concerns about hygiene and safety. **IV. Inconvenient Transportation:** The hotel is located on a relatively steep hillside. It takes at least 10 minutes to walk to the flat main road, making it inconvenient to access convenience stores, restaurants, and transportation. This is not very friendly for independent travelers.

This hotel is situated at one far end of Karon beach, and is literally right on the beach! We loved the super quiet location although it's a short walk out to the shops if you want to buy anything. The beach on this side was clean, not quiet but not as crowded as Patong or Kata either. We liked the quiet of it all, away from the bustle, after having spent 3 days in Kata. We booked a Deluxe Room but ended up asking to be upgraded (at a fee) to a ground level pool side room. It was the best decision ever! We stayed at Room 101 and while it was next to the ”road”, it was very quiet. We loved that we could hang out on the beach all day and pop back to the room for the toilet easily, or for more cold water or snacks. We also ordered food and coffee via Grab app and our room made it easy to come out and pick up very quickly, and we can see the grab riders coming with our food too. The staff were nice but they don't speak English well so some patience is needed. There's a cute kitty cat at the hotel, and she(?) loves cuddles and is friendly and doesn't mind being carried. Housekeeping was neat and efficient and we always had fresh towels and a clean room after a day out. The hotel is a bit dated, very reminiscent of old beach hotels we used to go to while growing up. It's well kept and lovely, and we enjoyed our stay very much. It is true that the water smells a little bit but just leave the shower running for a while and the smell goes away. Aircon was cold enough, and if I had to pick on something, I wish the curtains were blackout! Personal preference tho. Thanks to the team for a great stay.

The hotel has a great location, very close to Karon and Kata Beach, which makes it easy to enjoy the area. Service was excellent, with staff who were friendly, attentive, and professional. During check-in, the staff clearly explained the rules and information in a way that was easy to understand, which gave a very good first impression. Cleanliness and comfort were both very good, making the stay pleasant and relaxing. The hotel also provides parking in the basement with direct access to the lift, which is very convenient. Overall, I highly recommend this hotel for anyone visiting the area. It combines a great location with very good service and comfort.

Awesome hostel! The best! The air conditioning works, there's a fridge, a microwave, and it's not stuffy in the bunk. The beach is nearby, the bus stop is nearby, 7-11 is nearby, everything is close. With such affordable hostels and service in Phuket, you can vacation on a shoestring budget. At 7-11, you can pay with a Rosselkhozbank Union Pay card for purchases over 200 baht. About a 10-minute walk away, there's a Big C where things are cheaper and there's no minimum spend for card payments.

Beautiful, relaxing place. The villa is Thai style, very spacious and cozy. The natural light coming from the roof in a bathroom is impressive. The pool has bubbles and is very clean. The food is delicious. Location not that great considering a big, smelly lake has to be passed to approach the beach. Be careful with stairs in a bedroom, we both fell down at night. 😭

I'll start with the most important point for me, the biggest downside of this hotel is the lack of sound insulation. You can hear all the neighbors through the walls, and the bars nearby play very loud music until 4 AM. It feels like you’re sitting right next to a speaker it's complete madness! We stayed for 4 nights, and there were concerts at the bars every other day. On the positive side, the hotel is conveniently located close to the beach, the pool is clean, and the breakfasts are good. There is a restaurant on the hotel premises that serves delicious food; I highly recommend it. The massage services available at the hotel are also great!”

Surprisingly decent hotel. I chose it randomly and was positively surprised how comfortable this hotel is. The staff is friendly and helpful speaking good English. As a bonus you get an access to a beautiful swimming pool and sauna. The rooms are clean and contain a safe. A great chose for this price.

In general, we recommend the hotel. A good entrance group, focused on comfort and pleasant leisure. Even books) To the sea 900m 15 minutes, to the Bansan market also, and Bangla street, Ceylon supermarket. The hotel has 6 floors of residential, elevator. The pool is cleaned. The linen is quite clean. Choose a room before and upon arrival. Look at the floor in the reservation to match the view in the photo. There were small details, in terms of moving from the noisy side (room 201 is not recommended), but thanks to Trip, who helped, and we felt protected, we had a great time. Patong is basically a noisy village) Therefore, this hotel, compared to the area, is wonderful. I want to note the friendliness of the staff.

The room was very mediocre, like something you'd find for 100 RMB in China. The toilet's placement was awkward, right next to the sink, so you had to stand to the side to wash your face. I booked a balcony room, but it was just a 60-70cm wide strip with a road right outside – a total rip-off. The highlights of this hotel are the excellent rooftop pool and its fantastic location. It's only a few hundred meters' walk to Patong Beach, and there are plenty of restaurants and 7-Elevens nearby. The downside: It's incredibly noisy. Maybe it's my first time staying in Patong, but the motorcycles and tuk-tuks outside roared all night long; it felt like they were right next to my ear. I had to ask for earplugs the second night, which helped me get through it. If you're a light sleeper, I wouldn't recommend this hotel. But if you sleep soundly and enjoy the lively atmosphere, then this hotel might be for you.
